A popular booze store in Paddock has been raided by officers from Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs.

They spent most of the day at Paddock Premier Warehouse in Clough Lane, a retail warehouse which is open to the public and specialises in the sale of beer, lager, wines and spirits.

The officers in clearly marked high-vis jackets marked HMRC carried out large amounts of alcohol and boxed items.

The store had a 'closing down' notice pinned to its entrance.

Kevin Styles, a 33-year-old security guard of Marsh , who was shopping there at the time said: "I'm not sure what's happened today but I've used it quite a lot in the past and got some good bargains. I know some people swear by it and do almost all their shopping here."
